Course Outline 

Introduction to DiSC Behavioral Model

The course will begin with an introduction to the Disc behavioral model and its history. Participants will learn about the four main behavioral styles (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness), their characteristics and how they manifest in individuals.

DISC Assessment

Participants will take a DiSC assessment to help them identify their own behavioral style and understand how that may impact their management approach. They will also learn how to assess the behavioral style of their team members and adapt their communication and management approach accordingly.

Understanding Management Styles

Participants will be introduced to different management styles and theories, including Transformational, Transactional, Situational, and Servant Leadership. They will learn how these styles relate to the DiSC behavioral model and how to choose the appropriate style for different situations.

Communication and Conflict

Management: Effective communication and conflict management are crucial skills for managers. Participants will learn how to use the DiSC model to understand communication preferences of different personality types and resolve conflicts within their team.

Team Building and Motivation

In the last part of the course, participants will learn about team building, motivation, and delegation techniques. They will learn how to leverage the strengths of different behavioral styles to create a cohesive team and provide effective feedback to team members.

Outcome:

By the end of the course, participants will:

• Understand the DiSC behavioral model and its application in management
• Identify their personal DiSC profile and management tendencies
• Adapt their management style to different situations and team dynamics
• Communicate effectively and resolve conflicts based on DiSC profiles
• Build cohesive and motivated teams using DiSC principles

Labs

DiSC Profile Analysis: Participants will analyze their own DiSC profiles and discuss their implications for management and leadership. They will identify their strengths and areas for development and create action plans to leverage their strengths and address challenges.

Role-plays and Simulations: Participants will engage in role-plays and simulations to practice effective communication, conflict resolution, and team-building skills. They will apply DiSC principles in realistic scenarios and receive feedback from instructors and peers.

Group Discussions and Case Studies: Participants will participate in group discussions and analyze case studies to explore the application of DiSC principles in management. They will share their experiences, insights, and challenges, and collaborate with others to find practical solutions.
